No Doc. your right. According to car rental guides a Torus is considered a full size car. A Crown Vic is considered a premium size car. What ever that is suppose to be. Remember when your Malibu was considered a mid-size car. I bet it is as big or not bigger than anything that is make today. Real cars are rear wheel drive. Even though I own some front wheel drive cars I still agree with my old daddy. He always said the front end of a car had an important enough job with steering it didn't need to be burden with pulling the car too. Terry
